It was such a defining moment to see them commission with tears in their eyes and smiles on their faces. They took a longer route, but they made it. You can just feel the extra pain they went through for the extra 3 months, the disappointment and hurts they beared when we commissioned without them, and finally everything became all worthwhile on this day.

Being their camera man was much more than great joy.

As I was making my way back, I looked at the evening sky of the place and it brings back memories. I remember the day I pass out as a private soldier, my dreams of getting into officer school.

I also remember the day I commission on the same parade square, and told myself that I'll be a good officer.

But now when I think back...I really dunno what to say. The workload is so much...the shit is so intense...was it all worthwhile? Is it really that noble a job to be an officer?
